Gear up for Borderlands, Gearbox Software’s 2009 genre-smashing shooter-RPG that stormed PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on October 20, 2009, with remastered chaos in the 2019 Game of the Year Enhanced edition for modern platforms. This isn’t just a game—it’s a cel-shaded, gun-crazy treasure hunt on the lawless planet Pandora, where four Vault Hunters (Roland, Lilith, Mordecai, Brick) chase a mythical Vault packed with alien tech. With over 6 million copies sold and a franchise-spawning legacy, Borderlands is a wild ride of bullets and badassery!
Pick your Hunter and dive into a loot-fest—bazillions of procedurally generated guns, from pistols that spit fire to shotguns that reload with attitude. Level up skills—turn Lilith into a phasing ninja, Brick into a fist-swinging tank—and unleash chaos on bandits, skags, and corporate goons like the Crimson Lance. The open world’s a gritty sandbox—drive buggies across deserts, storm shantytowns, and raid Vaults guarded by bosses like Sledge or the Rakk Hive. Co-op’s the soul here—drop in with up to three pals for loot splits and revive clutch moments, all with a dark humor that’ll have you cackling.
The vibe? Mad Max meets a comic book—think dusty wastes, neon accents, and a punk-rock edge, all powered by Unreal Engine 3. Four DLCs (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution) pile on hours of mayhem, from undead hordes to Claptrap’s uprising. The Enhanced edition sharpens visuals and fixes bugs for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It’s raw, replayable, and ridiculous—critics (89 on Metacritic) and fans can’t get enough. Borderlands is your ticket to Pandora—grab a gun and start the loot loop!
